4. This is a place you can visit
5. There is not information on how much it was.
6. The main purpose of these houses are based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside.
7. I picked this building because it seemed interesting and the houses were upside down and its not something you see every day and I think that it really good. Also it has a really good message for the urban environment. I also think its cool because people can go and visit and look and experience that kind of thing that it something you don't do every day in your life. One more thing is that I thought they were so cute and once I started to read more about them and their message I started to g3et more intrigued.

5. This costs 300 million dollars
6. This was built because people call it the giant egg because its shaped like that, But it is an arts centre containing an opera house in Beijing, People's Republic of China. 
7. I chose this because I thought it was cool and had some was very interesting from the outside. The lights on the museum were really unique and thats a thing that you don't see as a museum you just see a building and plus this is on the water so its extra cool and makes it stand out more than all the other museums.

6. This place is in the middle of a mall and in the evening the Krzywy Domek is vibrant with life, as well. Its clubs and pubs provide extensive programmes of events and their top quality and diverse catering will satisfy all tastes – both sophisticated and traditional ones.
7. I chose this place because it is a little weird but in a good way. I think this gives people a way of looking at something different and that is cool to look at.

7. I chose this photo because I think this is really cool and really caught my eye of what it was. It looked really shiny and kinda of silly in a way that I liked. Like people can just go in here and it has so many twists and turns and angles that it gives you a headache sometimes. But overall I really liked this and once I started learning more about it I started to like it more.

6. Habitat 67 has the stature of a historical landmark. Extravagant by its minimalism, its modernity and overall aesthetics, Habitat 67 is praised around the world. Emblematic, this building is a dominant element in the Montreal landscape, and seeks to reconcile quality of life and urban environment by rethinking living spaces.
7. I think this photo was my favorite because it was really quirky and its not like perfect little place to live but is amazing to live in and is super cool. this photo and houses are so out of the box and I could never imagine my self thinking of something like this and think of a way to make them all stick out of the building and make it stable.
